PETA-Approved

The PETA-Approved label can be found on clothes, shoes and accessories that contain no leather, fur, wool, skin, exotic skins or any other animal-derived fabric. As more and more people vow never to clothe themselves in cruelty, retailers and designers are meeting the demand for animal-friendly clothes in style.

The “PETA-Approved Vegan” logo is a way of recognising progressive, compassionate businesses – and helping ethical consumers identify where to shop with confidence, safe in the knowledge that they’re not supporting the exploitation of animals.

#PETA #TheOnlyWayIsEthics #vegan

Hello everyone. I am #newhere

Although I'm really not.

I have been in Diaspora for many years now. First in joindiaspora, then in diasp.org. Now that the latter is closing down, I have decided to make use of this old account I had here in diasp.eu. I used to use this account to promote a music project I had, but that is long finished, so I am repurposing this account as my main Diaspora account now.

My interests lie in #language, not so much as in all the different languages of the world, but rather on the human capacity for language. #Linguistics is therefore a great interest of mine. #Science in general also interests me, and I am particularly interested in #astrophysics, although only as an amateur. I dabble in #philosophy as well, specially #HistoryOfPhilosophy and #PhilosophyOfScience. I will occasionally post #theories and #ideas I have about my own work or things I find interesting.

I also love listening to and playing #jazz. I have a jazz trio (link in profile) and I will occasionally post some of #MyWork

For the rest, you can expect the occasional #vegan #cooking post. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

And of course the daily #Wordle, #pedantle and #cemantle posts

Cheers!

I've come to realise that the #vegan position can't be argued or proven false. Because at its core it's really simple: to limit animal suffering as far as practicable. It is altruistic.

You either want to do this, or you don't.

If you don't, it's either because you hold hedonistic or speciesist views. The hedonistic viewpoint—i.e. "I eat it because it's tasty"—falls flat rather quickly because most reasonable people would agree that someone kicking a dog simply because it "makes them feel good" is "wrong".

The speciesist viewpoint, of which there are a few, like the call to "sapience", "sentience" or just "we're at the top of the food chain" are all logically flawed. Once again, most reasonable people would agree that killing and eating a human child (of a similar or even lesser "sentience" to that of a pig or a cow) would be a very bad thing to do. As for the food chain: that's circular reasoning since there's no connection between our supposed position in the food chain and the justifiability of eating animals that we intentionally put beneath us by eating them.

So yeah, bottom line is: all arguments against minimising animal suffering can be distilled down as such. Just eat plants—it's good for you and for the animals.
